Quote from www.pirena.com
What is Pirena?
Its big challenge: Crossing the Pyrenees from west to east through the Aragonese territory, Lleida, France, Andorra and Girona on sleds pulled by dogs or skis.
After twenty issues it remains a major competition which has for its participants the added value of having the attention of a great group of people and a score for the European Cup and the World Cup.
twenty sleds and 10 skijorers have gathered on stage to receive public support before the start of this new adventure. Veterans of the route and many newcomers will share 15 days crossing the Pyrenees. More than 300 miles that will allow crossing the famous mountain range from west to east.
